How do I install TeamViewer on my Linux distribution?

Graphical installation

For installing TeamViewer, we recommend using the graphical installer. The graphical installer can be invoked by (double) clicking the downloaded package.

If this is not the case and, e.g. the Archive Manager opens up, open the context menu instead (right-click on the downloaded package). Depending on your distribution you will get different possibilities to install the package, e.g. “Open with software installation”, “Open with GDebi package installer”, “Open with Ubuntu Software Center”, or “Open with> QApt package installer”.

On newer 64-bit DEB-systems with Multiarch-support (Debian 7) teamviewer_linux_x64.deb cannot be installed because the package ia32-libs is not available anymore on these systems. In this case you can use teamviewer_11.0.xxxxx_i386.deb instead.

In case you get the error “wrong architecture i386” you have to execute the following command lines as an administrator:

Other platforms

TeamViewer does also run on a lot of other distributions, although not officially supported.

You can use our tar.gz package which will only create files in the directory where you extract it to. The tar.gz package works, if the libraries that TeamViewer depends on are installed which is often the case.

On Mandriva/Mageia TeamViewer can be installed using the following command as an administrator:

urpmi --force --allow-nodeps teamviewer_11.0.xxxxx.i686.rpm

On PCLinuxOS TeamViewer can be installed from the repository. The package is provided by the PCLinuxOS team.
